Password management
You know those lists of "the most common passwords"?
I was looking at one of those because I actually want to use a really common password or two on occasion. The thing is I'm skeptical that these are legitimate lists. Most things these days require at least 8 chars with a numeral. But these lists are full of alpha only short passwords. The ones that are 8+n are a little to clever for me to think that they are all that common.
Is there anyone here that can send a list of most common passwords from some system that requires 8+n or 8+n+symbol/caps whatever? Or a link to one you think is "real"
Thanks!
